and jonathan allen, longtime political journalist and nbc news national political reporter. he happens to be in quebec city tonight covering this summit. susan, you get to go first because when i heard what you said at 4:00 p.m. on this network, it stopped me in my tracks. you said, "this is not a drill." tell the folks what you mean. >> well, you know, for a year and a half we have been wondering with trepidation what's going to happen with president trump and the rest of the world. a lot of chest-beating about the death of the liberal international order, but what does that mean? will we recognize it when it actually happens? in my view, what's happened over the last few weeks, and in part tasfew days, looks pretty much like the death of the liberal international order. i think that the statement this morning about wanting russia to rejoin the g7, it just suggests donald trump is not subscribing to the basic tenets that brought the world's leading democracies together. it's not a club that anyone thinks vladimir putin should join. but it says that donald trump thinks the w

jonathan allen out in singapore.r on. >>> now to trump watch, monday, june 11, 2018. some points for the singapore summit. remember, one, mr. president, this is one or to the country and the world. it's not about winners and losers. two, washington, d.c. is 200 miles from new york city. the peninsula -- the korean peninsula is about that far from hiroshima. even closer to nagasaki. so north korea knows the history, the power, and the horror of nuclear weapons from up close. we need to remember that. three, for 3/4 of a century, the world has avoided the use of nuclear weapons. the success of this summit depends entirely, i think, on whether we can prolong that avoidance and make the world safer. four, kim jong-un knows that the only reason trump is talking to you or him that he has nuclear weapons. he saw what happened in iraq and libya when they gave their nuclear weapons. one leader was hanged and the other leader was beaten to death. kim has a clear focus. keep our weapons. he is like the nra that way. will he lis

jonathan: allen, the other thing to look at is the treasury curve.e always have the debate on this program, what does the shape of the treasury curve actually tell you? what does alan higgins say about that? everyone talks about it now. i think it was the atlanta fed president who said his job was to avoid an inversion year. we are getting flatter and flatter. part of it i think is the issuance you are seeing. maybe the u.s. can take a lesson of what we do in the u.k., our debt in the u.k. is long, probably too long. i can't understand why they are hitting the front end so much. that doesn't help with the flattening curve. jonathan: we could talk about what they should and shouldn't do. it is what they will and won't do, do you just assume the forces will continue pushing the front? would play the flattener. it is not that i'm comfortable having to do so, but i would point out that we have had two rate hikes this year, in march and a couple weeks ago. in march, the ten-year treasury was at 292. today, we are at 292. if the fed decides to move twice m
